Read the articles mentioned in the Essay 1 announcement. Then spend some time researching and reading other articles about what is going on within the government today. Some topics could be the death of our ambassador in Benghazi and the possible cover up, the NSA, the IRS scandal, the border crisis, the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare), or the use of executive orders. Also spend some time looking at the Constitution and the responsibilities it lays out for each branch of the government.

Once you have become educated on what is going on in the government discuss whether you still believe the system of checks and balances is still working. Do you believe the government still repects and abides by the Constitution? Explain.

because the topic involves current events and politics I will remind you to berespectful. Please remember that everyone is entitled to their own opinion as long as it is educated and based on something. If you are rude or disrespectful I will delete your post and you will not receive any points. This topic has nothing to do with social issues such as abortion or same sex marriage. Do not reference either of these topics or I will delete your post.

While I want you to be respectful I also want you to be honest. Do not give the politically correct answer!!! I despise political correctness and it does not belong in a real discussion. If you give the politically correct, make everybody happy, afraid to offend anyone response then I will call you out on it and poke at you until you give me your opinion : )
